Man fatally shot outside of probation office in Miami Gardens

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Police and fire rescue crews responded to a shooting that left a man dead outside of a Miami Gardens probation office.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews responded to a parking lot outside of the Florida Department of Correction’s Probation & Parole Services office, located in the area of Northwest 37th Avenue and 167th Street at around 9:30 a.m., Wednesday.

“That [expletive] said, ‘Boom, boom, boom, boom,” a witness said in a cellphone video posted to Facebook. “There’s a bad shootout that happened at the probation office.”

Police said the victim, later identified as 33-year-old Prince Taylor, was not an employee at the probation office, and he was the intended target of the shooters.

Surveillance video from a nearby business showed a vehicle pulling up to the parking lot before two men hopped out and opened fire on a white Chevrolet Tahoe SUV.
